They probably "managed" by the typical cycle: breed until you run out of food, starve until you have enough again. That's how nature works. The reason people are shooting them now is just because they don't like to see thousands of starving koalas.

People are emotional like that.

Why not, many revered people like Hitler, Saddam, Bush do it all the time.

The whole point is you bitch and moan about civilian casualties in war,( nobody wants any injuries or deaths) yet you want to kill 20K people over some damn Koalas...

Ah, excuse me, go back and read posts by me, you won't find me "bitch and moan" about Collateral damage. In fact I would've given civillians enough time to get out of Fvcullah and then leveled the sand castles.

4-30-2004 Call to Shoot 20,000 Australian Koalas

"We are talking thousands of starving koalas," said Sandra Kanck from the Australian Democrats, Australia's third major political party.

"While they may be cute and cuddly we need to get beyond emotion to reality...my suggestion is professional shooters do it quickly and cleanly," Kanck told Reuters on Friday of the proposed cull.

Ahhh . . . the bambi effect. You know, sometimes cute animals are destructive too . . .
